[Verse 1]
In the morning I wake up
And In the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?
[Chorus]
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
[Verse 2]
Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control
[Chorus]
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
[Verse 3]
Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generation
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter
[Chorus]
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
In the morning I wake up
And In the night I sleep
Since the day that I was born
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Brought to this life
Born to this life
Where was I before?
Non-existent? Not at all?
Will I ever know?
[Chorus]
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
[Verse 2]
Subconsciously motivated natural instinct
Alter nature for the pleasure
Orthocycline
Flirt with conception
Slow the cycle
Will the baby grow?
Social tradition interference
Control, control, control
[Chorus]
Today is my birthday
And I get one every year
And some day…
Hard to believe
But I'll be buried six feet underground
[Verse 3]
Spinning, spinning
Before I can recall
All the unknown chemicals
Control the cycle
The successive generation
From dust to dust
Burying my grandma
Then give birth to my own daughter
[Chorus]
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
I'll be dead and gone, no longer around
I'll be buried six feet underground
